What is Florida’s nickname and motto?

Florida’s nickname is The Sunshine State, and it was adopted officially by Florida legislature in 1970.

“In God We Trust” is a slight alteration of the previous state motto of Florida, which was “In God Is Our Trust.” Florida’s motto, which was derived from the motto on the United States silver dollar, affirms a deep faith and trust of the people of Florida in God.

FSU’s motto of “Vires, Artes, Mores,” which translates to “strength, skill and character,” is highlighted during the Torch Ceremony, where three upperclassmen pass torches to a trio of incoming students, symbolically passing the university’s ideals from one class to the next. Aug 25, 2019
